Intro: CGF (2x)
---
N.C. CF
You fight for every breath
CG
Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect
CFCGF
The one you swore to love is pulling you down
CF
You're in over your head
CG
Chilled to the bone by the waters you tread
CFCGCCadd9
Chart a course to land before you drown
Chorus::
CFG
Swim to the nearest distant shore
CF
There's only so much your heart can endure
Csus4FG
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
CGCCadd9
You can't hold on anymore
CFG
It's not as far as it might seem
CC7F
Now it's time to let go of old dreams
Csus4F
Every heart for it----self
GCGFCGF
Swim to the nearest distant shore

CF
He said for you he'd change
CG
Then he let you down and watched you take the blame
CFCGF
You're trapped between his lies and the great unknown
CF
You vowed you would not fail
CG
But this ain't success, it's a living hell
CFCGCCadd9
There's nothing left to lose, you're already alone
Chorus::
CFG
Swim to the nearest distant shore
CF
There's only so much your heart can endure
Csus4FG
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
CGCCadd9
You can't hold on anymore
CFG
It's not as far as it might seem
CC7F
Now it's time to let go of old dreams
Csus4F
Every heart for it----self
GCGF
Swim to the nearest distant shore
Csus4F
Every heart for it----self
GC
Swim to the nearest distant shore
